MI6 officer seized in SAS mission fiasco 'was carrying letter signed by David Cameron'

The Conservatives under David Cameron: Built to Last?Libya: MI6 officer seized in SAS mission fiasco 'was carrying letter signed by David Cameron' - Telegraph: "The Prime Minister wanted the note hand-delivered to the rebel leaders to help help win their trust in the campaign to oust Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi, according to the Daily Mirror.
In doing so he was following in the footsteps of Baroness Thatcher, who liked to begin 'difficult negotiations' with personal messages while she was Prime Minister.
The Foreign and Commonwealth said it was investigating the report on Tuesday morning.
The claim came after William Hague told the House of Commons on Monday that the Prime Minister was aware that SAS soldiers and MI6 officers were to mount the secret mission in Libya.
The Foreign Secretary made clear the Prime Minister knew about last week's operation, which ended in embarrassing failure when the British personnel were held captive by Libyan opposition groups."
